Wilderness Trail Distillery - 'Bottled-In-Bond' 6yr Single-Barrel Bourbon (750ML)

Kentucky’s Wilderness Trail Distillery began releasing products only in the last couple years, patiently waiting for their four-year, bottled-in-bond bourbon to come of age. A couple of years later, and the distillery is now slowly releasing its first six-year-old bourbons. This is their rye recipe (24% rye, 12% malted barley) made using the unique sweet mashing process, and since it’s drawn from some of the distillery’s oldest stocks, distilled on the original pot still.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Robust aromas of apple and peach, backed by vanilla, caramel candies, cardamom, and clove.

Palate: Initially features peach and apple, followed by a surge of cardamom and anise, with touches of caramel and vanilla.

Finish: Dominated by baked orchard fruits, transitioning to drying oak spice with cardamom, clove, and anise.

Additional Information

The Bottled-In-Bond designation ensures that the bourbon meets strict quality standards, including being produced in a single distilling season and aged for at least four years. Wilderness Trail Distillery emphasizes transparency in their production methods and often provides detailed information about their sourcing and ageing processes.
